Polson, Montana

I had never been to Polson, Montana located on Flathead Lake where Jeremy had spent so much time when he was little. He had told me all about it and we were planning a trip in July. However, we had to take that trip early due to his grandfather passing away.

We left thursday morning and took our time driving there. We stopped several places to sightsee and had lunch with his mom in Spokane. We checked into the hotel right on the lake and it was beautiful.

The next morning we met Jeremy's aunt Jane and his cousin's wife Heather and their little boy Rylan for breakfast. Afterwards Jeremy and I decided to drive around the lake so I could get the full lake experience while he told me stories about his childhood. We spent a couple of hours driving and really enjoyed it. That night we had dinner at Jeremy's grandma's sister's house. The sister's name was Hattie and she was very sweet. Jane brought over Chinese food and we sat around and talked.

Carla, Jeremy's mom had Saturday off and drove down for the service. She picked up her brother Dean and the four of us met for breakfast. The service was for both Jeremy's dad and grandfather. It was very nicely done and had a 21 gun salute and honor guard for his grandpa. They also had a bagpipe playing and it gets me every time. We went over to Hattie's again and had leftovers for lunch. The rest of the day was spent relaxing.

We had breakfast one more time with Jane and Heather sunday morning and then took off for Coeur d'Alene.

The lake was beautiful and we are trying to plan a trip back later this summer to go camping with the rest of the family.
